.
Life
Philippe-Charles de France was born at the
duc d'Anjou at birth, a title previously held by Philippe de France, duc d'Orléans, his uncle and the younger brother of Louis XIV. He was baptised at the Chapelle des Tuileries à Paris on 24 March 1668.[1][2]
As a younger son of Louis XIV, Philippe-Charles was not expected to become the Dauphin; however, it was hoped he would inherit the vast fortune of his second cousin,
Louis François. Philippe-Charles was buried on 12 July 1671, at the Basilica of Saint-Denis.[1]
At the death of the Duchess of Montpensier in 1693, her fortune went to her direct and legal heir, the House of Orléans (Philippe's uncle Philippe I, Duke of Orléans).
